Trump's lies: the list

From The New York Times: a definitive list of all of Trump's Lies ... Many Americans have become accustomed to President Trump’s lies. But as regular as they have become, the country should not allow itself to become numb to them. So we have catalogued nearly every outright lie he has told publicly since taking the oath of office.

What's appalling is that it seems most Trump supporters know he lies and they are fine with that. They see lying as a kind of strength - Trump is so powerful that he can actually skew reality and get away with it. But really, lying is a sign of weakness, of fear, of malice, and almost always is done for one purpose: to advantage oneself at the expense of others. Trump lies because the truth exposes him as a loser.
